First post since November 22nd! (Whoop?)
Anyway, I have a job tending to the Greens at a Golf Course. I stupidly told my friend I'd get him a job, so we could work together. However, since then, our friendship has been very strained, very on and off. There's been a couple of arguments, and a general feeling of annoyance from both sides.
Anyhow, I'm now considering not even asking if he could get a job, for several reasons:
- This job will have him interacting with strangers, who will want to ask him stuff about his life, something he would not be up for
- If we have an argument in the near future (Which is a near certainity), it will bring tension into my work, and I don't want that
- My friend isn't especially consistent. He could be saying he wants this job, but in three weeks time, could hate it.
I'm thinking of not asking, but saying to my friend that I did. I'll say 'Oh, I asked if you could get a job. They said there weren't any spaces avaliable'.
It's not even like he desperately needs one, his family are very comfortable money wise. And he'll be starting training in September, which pays up to £100 a week (My pay in a month, basically)
So, does anybody think my idea's right? Have you been in a similar situation before?
